Inert Landfill

An Inert Landfill can only accept Inert Waste that meets the definition of inert in the legislation [1] and the relevant Waste Acceptance Criteria (WAC) [2]. The legislation provides a list of Inert Waste that can be accepted without testing where there is confidence that the waste is not contaminated, all other Inert Waste must be tested to demonstrate that they meet the leaching limit values given in the legislation.

This type of infrastructure provides the overview of Inert Landfill facilities for the UK, linking to individual pages for each facility that provides greater detail.
